I just wanted to pass this along... I came across this at the SketchUcation forums in a post by a very helpful fellow named pilou... 

It's an "Instant Field Aligned Mesh Generator"... For turning Triangulated meshes in Quad based meshes... Or visa-versa... As well as Point Cloud models into Quads or Tris...

If this interests you, I highly suggest you watch the two videos below:

• Instant Meshes Retopology SIGGRAPH YouTube video:  http://youtu.be/U6wtw6W4x3I

• A less professional, but slightly informative video about Instant Meshes:  http://youtu.be/m6YKmSql1-o

• Download Instant Meshes from GitHub:  https://github.com/wjakob/instant-meshes

Basically it's a free automatic retopology application... There are versions for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux... It comes precompiled and do it yourself, for those who can... I'm finding it pretty amazing on some simple test models I made...  I don't know how useful it is to people who know how to model properly, but it seems amazing at turning triangulated meshes into quads, this may be useful in "fixing" models made in programs that natively don't export in quads... Perhaps like Marvelous Designer or Sculptris... I think there has been some talk about that being a problem with MD... I don't do clothes yet, so I don't focus on those things that much... 

Above: Not the greatest result, but not bad considering that it took 12 seconds, and I did not touch any of the controls or adjustment tools.

Above: The mesh in Blender, Hex, Silo and Studio...  Like I said, not perfect, but its not a complete mess and there were no adjustments... Well, except for adjusting smoothing in Blender as the second video mentions.

I've used a few retopology features in a couple of programs and they vary in results and usefulness... But this is free and might be worth experimenting with.

One caveat... You'll lose your original UVs, so you'll have to remap, but if it's not mapped yet, that's not a big deal I suppose.

I used the precompiled version, so just a tip for anyone experiencing the same problem I did (in Windows 7Pro)...  When you eventually go to save, you may get an error message... It took me a while to figure out that you have to add the format extension (.obj or .ply) to the name ( example: TestModel.obj ) or it will fail... For me at least, in most programs, you pick your format and type in your model's name and the extension  (.obj or whatever ) is just added automatically, because you already would have chosen the format... But I guess not here... Maybe it's just a bug?  Oh well.

I hope this is helpful or at least develops into something more robust later.

Enjoy :-)

I’ve been able to get in contact with Anton by way of a R'osity Forum Mod acting as an intermediary. Anton says:

“If someone want to give them a copy of the zips, that is fine. I don’t mind. But the files can’t be repackaged into new zips.”

I’ve uploaded the Apollo Maximus Base, Faceroom Head and what add ons available at the download page that I have to Google Drive. I’ll see if I can find some place to host them on a more permanent basis; if anyone wants to do so, grab the files and put a link to them in this thread. As noted above; DON’T REPACKAGE THEM!

Introduction
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

A fantastic GPU-accelerated ray-trace renderer named Cycles has been added to recent versions of Blender.

McjTeleblender is a kit of scripts designed to quickly export Daz Studio scenes, even animations, and render them in Blender using Cycles.

mcjteleblender free Kit of scripts to render Daz Studio Scenes in Blender 2.6x ( Cycles )

* * * * * * * * * New things * * * * * * * * *

In this new version, the material's texture images are ready to be tiled

Also, a new trick lets you re-use your custom materials

this is a scene set-up in Daz Studio 3 , transferred to Blender using the scripts, and rendered by the Cycles Path Tracer

( inspired by the set of 4minute's Volume Up music video )

Hi all. 

The new January PC Contest inspired me to create a new clothing: 

http://www.sharecg.com/v/83479/view/21/DAZ-Studio/G2_Ellie_Cosplay

This is a Cosplay set for the Genesis 2 Female, based on the Character "Ellie" from "The last of us". It's a tribute to a great game character and a cool Heroine!

The Model Textures originally have been made by KonradM96 on Deviant Art. I rebuilt the cloth completely in Marvelous Designer and Rigged them for the G2 Female. Also with the know morphs in it. Then i made a complete new Texture map and painted it from scratch in Photoshop and Body Paint 2.5, using Konrads Maps as guide.

Hope you like them. Thank you Konrad for making it available,

Ah, i nearly forgot, there is also a texture for the Sneakers. If you own the "Casual Jeans and T-Shirt for Genesis and Genesis 2 Female(s)" from Ravenhair and Daz you can use the textures to also have the correct shoes on your costume.

Cheers Beat

Made a few poses to affect only the feet and/or toes of G3F. Bonus: chair prop. [has lots of mesh for morphing]

DA LINK

Files made in D/S4.6

Download from Renderosity: Morphalynn: 127 G3F Head and Face Morphs

Download from ShareCG: Morphalynn: 127 G3F Head and Face Morphs

DESCRIPTION

Add Morphalynn to your runtime, and have fun reshaping Genesis 3 Female! This package contains 127 face and head morphs, logically named, grouped, and color coded. Morphs cover head, ears, brow, cheeks, chin, jaw, eyes, mouth, and nose. As far as I can tell from my extensive tests, they also play nice with G3F’s facial bones, so no rigging weirdness here. [If you find any problems, though, feel free to alert me.]

Features:

All morphs are named “MW-xxx” for easy filtering and identification.

Asymmetry morphs [4 each for brow, mouth, and nose] easily add realistic asymmetry to your characters.

Real World morphs for brow, nose, and mouth allow you to control each side of the face independently.

There are way more nose morphs in this package than you ever dreamed of, including 4 fantasy Pinocchio noses and 3 columella morphs. [What’s the columella, you ask? Well, it’s the piece of flesh dividing the nostrils, and I swear nobody else pays attention to it when making morphs.]

All morphs are completely unrestricted in their use. Commercial, noncommercial, whatever. You can create your own characters based on these morphs, the redistribute the morphs along with your character. You can port the morphs over to G3M [or any other figure], then release the package as a freebie. Go wild!!

LOCATION

After installation, find the morphs under the following paths on your Parameters tab:

Genesis 3 Female > Actor > Head > Real World > MW-Head [6]

Genesis 3 Female > Actor > Head > Ears > Fantasy SciFi > MW-Ears [3]

Genesis 3 Female > Actor > Head > Ears > Real World > MW-Ears [5]

Genesis 3 Female > Actor > Head > Face > Brow > Real World > MW-Brow [15]

Genesis 3 Female Actor > Head > Face > Cheeks and Jaw > Real World > MW-Cheeks [6]

Genesis 3 Female Actor > Head > Face > Cheeks and Jaw > Real World >  MW-Chin [13]

Genesis 3 Female Actor > Head > Face > Cheeks and Jaw > Real World > MW-Jaw [7]

Genesis 3 Female Actor > Head > Face > Eyes > Real World > MW-Eyes [13]

Genesis 3 Female Actor > Head > Face > Mouth > Real World > MW-Mouth [19]

Genesis 3 Female Actor > Head > Face > Nose > Fantasy SciFi > MW-Nose [4]

Genesis 3 Female Actor > Head > Face > Nose > Real World > MW-Nose [36]

Download from ShareCG: Red Planet Arachnid [Ziggy] Morph for Genesis

Daz Studio only

Tested only in Daz Studio Pro 4.6 64 bit.

NOTE: If you downloaded this character morph before 9/23/2015, there was a bug in it that made the tongue deform. Please download the updated files and reinstall them. Names and paths are the same, so they should overwrite without a problem.

DESCRIPTION

This is a head morph that makes Genesis base look like a certain British glam rocker who fell to earth along with some spiders from Mars in about 1975. You can use the morph without any other morph packs, although I have included a character preset that uses the the Emaciated morph that comes with the Genesis Evolution Body Morphs, available at Daz3D.

This is a morph only, no textures, clothing, hair, poses, or anything else included.

LOCATION

After installation, find the morph under Parameters > Actor > Male > Real World > ModernWizard > RedPlanetArachnid. Find the character preset under My Library > People > Genesis > Characters > ModernWizard > RedPlanetArachnid.

I made a product for fun. With all the other stuff I have going right now, I didn't have time to texture and render it. My loss is your gain.

This is a fairly revealing outfit intended for males with many pieces and many extra morphs. You can use it on females too, of course. The bulge is not mandatory. It'll just be somewhat more revealing since it doesn't cover the chest area. It does not come with textures, but is very shader-friendly.

Please post your renders!

Long ago Duke533 published a script that exports objects in Daz Studio as props

then JWAS84 updated it to work in Daz Studio3

it's the script i use to make all the props on my site

But it really didnt work in DS>4.5

so today i fixed it !

https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts5/pp2exporterds4

or if you have trouble downloading the zip file at google-site

here's a direct link to the zip file

https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts5/pp2exporterds4/PP2ExporterDS4.zip?attredirects=0&d=1

using this script, you select the root node of a prop in a daz studio scene, run the script and you obtain a  Poser compatible prop

note 1 : the geometry ( the objects that make up your prop ) must be primitives or imported OBJ files for which you own the copyrights

note 2 : the script hides everything in the scene and exports the prop elements one by one,

if there's something else in your scene with locked nodes the script will fail to make it invisible

and that something will be exported as many times as there are props elements

thereby making your prop unusable and possibly containing stuff you're not allowed to distribute

http://xenteia.com/G2IraySkinTuneUp v1.1 by jag11.zip

http://xenteia.com/g2male_face_opacity.zip in case your figures eyes poke through.

Iray Skin TuneUp for Genesis 2 Figures is a script for DS 4.8+ to help you get the best results from your old Genesis 2 figures. This script also sets up the required Geometry Shell for best results.

To install, just copy the content to your scripts folder.

How to use:

• Load any Genesis 2 Male/Female figure.
• Apply the Iray Optimized Genesis 2 Male/Female Materials.
• Go to your scripts folders and double click on the G2IraySkinTuneUp v1.1 by jag11 icon.

In case your skin comes too red you can lower it down by using the SSS Reflectance Tint. Still too red, lower down the gamma property in image editor in steps of .4 units (2.2, 1.8, 1.4, 1)

Need your skin more glossy, just rise the Glossiness setting. If you still need it more glossy change the Glossy Specular, valid glossy levels are 51, 59, 102, 153, 204. Remember Glossy Specular is controlled by Glossiness property, so after changing Glossy Specular always start from Glossines 1 and lower down from there.

It is recommended to choose a neutral lighting for environment while adjusting gamma, glossiness or tint, your goal is to "match" the skin tone of your original texture, you can see this step as a calibration step. Once you're happy with skin tone you can use any light set you require.

the goal was to make a moderately detailed castle, and to keep it under 200000 polyfons

the door-windows will all be animatable

fig 2 - currently working on the main entrance ... columns\\

fig3 - shows that the front and back of the castle wont be identical - contrary to early versions - so it's u-shaped

fig 4 - interior shot to show the wall/panels - the castle wasnt U-shaped at this point

a first Version of the Castle !!!
it’s one piece with no movable parts
... i wanted to meet me deadline ... so it’s a rush thing
the stairs are also built in and not removable

Centaur fix for DS4 Genesis figure:
Since you cannot switch off individual body parts of the Genesis figure in DAZ Studio 4, adamr001 created a pose file to achieve this with transmaps.
Here's the link to his package:
http://daz.tall-tales-racing.com/resources/freebies/genesis/genesis_v4_centaur.zip Thank you very much!

Keep in mind that you need the corresponding figures to use these morphs. Within the ZIP-file you will usually find an INJ-Pose to apply the morph to the MillHorse/MillFoal/Charger/MillBigCat plus a transmap with a MAT-Pose. Please read the instructions text-file included in the ZIP-file.

Hi all. 

Been busy quite a bit. I decided to release it at this stage.

It contains of the Following:

- A gymnastic Dress that can be changed into a Skating dress with skirt, can change colours, it can also be worn as long dress, all made up from one piece. Of course it has the "Fold", "Drop" and "Hang" morphs and some more. One dress lets you choos all colours you like, you can also hide several parts of it like legs arms or collar with separate Material zones.

- A training dress made of 2 parts, trousers and jacket. Jacket can be opened and both pieces also have the "Drop", "Fold" and "Hang" morphs. It has 10 different Prints ("Blings") for the back and also can take on nearly any colour you like, no matter if you use shaders, colours or pattern pictures.

- A bag that can be opened to put the cloth inside. You can hide the belt if you like.

- A towel with several fold morphs. There is also one Version conforming to G2 for a "around the neck" towel.

I struggled a bit with the skirt. Just conform it using the "Genesis" "basicDress" (if you onw it) or normal Dress option. It should work quite fine, if you select the skirt, there should be all the neede parameters to deform it to your pose. 

Hope you like it. Let me know if i forgot to package anything, its such a huge package, I lost view of all things a bit.

Have a very happy holiday!

Cheers
